Bee-eaters, a colorful and graceful group of birds in the family Meropidae. They’re experts at catching bees in mid-air. Bee-eaters use their sharp eyesight and acrobatic flying skills to snatch bees, wasps, and other flying insects while in flight. They’re immune to bee and wasp stings. Before eating, bee-eaters rub the insect against a perch to remove the stinger and squeeze out the venom—an impressive survival skill! #bird #birds #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #birdsonplanet #instabird #birds_ador
